'Remo' makes the NYT again

A little more than a month since the New York Times did a nice interview with author Leslie Epstein, his novel partly set in 1940s Pacific Palisades, San Remo Drive: A Novel From Memory, is reviewed Sunday in the Book Review.

Although ''San Remo Drive'' is about a family in the movie industry, it is unlike anything Leslie Epstein has ever written, including his other Hollywood novel, the brilliant polymorphic extravaganza, Pandaemonium...

San Remo Drive may be bathed in the colors of memory, but it hasn't a drop of nostalgia.
